Waymo Launches Robotaxi Service for All in Los Angeles

Waymo has expanded its robotaxi service to the general public in Los Angeles, allowing anyone with the Waymo One app to request rides across an 80-square-mile area. This follows a limited launch in the city and builds on Waymo's previous expansions in Phoenix and San Francisco. Despite financial losses, Waymo continues to lead the robotaxi industry, transporting over 150,000 weekly trips and securing significant investment. The company faces potential competition from Tesla's planned "Cybercab" service, though skepticism remains about Tesla's timeline.
